Mating dance for nesting

514 votes

Nesting has been anticipated for quite some time, with lots of speculation about how the mechanic will work, many players are quite enthusiastic about nesting when it comes.

It would be nice to have a Mating Dance mechanic. Just a single 1 button emote that shows a player you're interested in mating. Just like the group invite or remove call, it'd be nice to have a mating dance/mating request.

Yesssss! That why if you approach a stranger, you can say, "Hey, lets make some babies!"

This would be cool!
I think a play-fight animation for younger dinos would be neat too, maybe it could earn you some growth afterwards. Unsure how easy it would be though.

I agree. However, I think it should only be allowed for other group members. wouldn't want randoms trying to mate tbh. Also mating would mean hatchlings right? So npc hatchlings with growing quests? That's the dream!

Awful idea. Just awful.

Nesting should enable players to create "tribes" "clans" or "herds" (whatever you want to call it). Nests should act as a spawn point for when you are killed in the game.

Having players ask eachother "can i mate with you?" is just outright creepy and weird.

This would be a amazing idea, and I think it would go well with another thing which I put a thing to vote for which is a realistic mating for dinosaurs which I don’t know if anybody will vote for.

If my pycno could do a similar dance to the carnos from prehistoric planet, that would be sick.

This could definitely add more realism to the game once nesting is out. But I would agree that people just saying "Hey! lets make a baby" is down right weird but
not all dinos or pterosaurs do mating dances. Some could do vocal calls instead of dancing like with Rhamph you could do something where it depends on if you can hunt well for the kids, with a T-rex or micro raptor they could have more vibrant colors then other males. Or just for the rex they could do a bow or the thing on animal planet when the rex shows a vulnerable part of his body which is his neck were most of the color would be.
